Easy chicken and mangetout noodles
A delectable but oh-so quick chicken and noodle dish. Use your favourite egg noodles, or use regular pasta - farfalle, spaghetti, fusilli or penne work well. The dish could be garnished with toasted peanuts or cashews instead of the sesame seeds.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 250g medium egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 skinless chicken breast fillets, diced
- 200g mangetout, trimmed
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 125ml black bean sauce
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

- Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. Drain well and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until shimmering. Cook and stir the chicken breast until no longer pink, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from frying pan. Cook and stir the mangetout and spring onions until slightly softened and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and stir the black bean sauce and peanut butter into the vegetables until well combined. Stir the chicken and pasta into the vegetable mixture, and allow to heat through, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

This was a quick, easy, and tasty recipe. As per the other review I would definitely suggest cutting down on the black bean sauce because it was on the salty side. One small change that I made was to add about a half cup of skim milk to the final recipe (with the heat on very low). This made a sauce a bit creamier and more sauce-like. - 21 Jul 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
The dish was too salty for our tastes. Next time I will use 1/4 cup or less of the black bean sauce. Other than that, it was quick, easy and flavorful. - 14 Jul 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
